The training was organized by the Adamawa State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development. Serving as the lead resource person, Prof. Zalkuwi emphasized the importance of fostering strong interpersonal relationships between teachers and students. She noted that such training is crucial in bridging communication gaps and ensuring a more effective learning environment.
Recognizing the economic challenges that may contribute to stress among both teachers and students, Prof. Zalkuwi highlighted the training’s role in fostering a supportive and harmonious classroom atmosphere. By promoting positive engagement, she explained, both students and teachers can operate in a more conducive environment that enhances academic performance.
She further stressed that the training encourages the adoption of best teaching practices, which prioritize student well-being. Unlike traditional methods that rely on harsh disciplinary measures, including corporal punishment, the new approach advocates for caution, empathy, and constructive interaction. According to Prof. Zalkuwi, this shift will lead to better student engagement, motivation, and overall performance.
Calling for more extensive training sessions, the professor underscored the need to extend the program to all teachers across the state. She noted that participants in the workshop expressed enthusiasm about the training, acknowledging its potential to make them more innovative and effective in knowledge delivery.
Our correspondent gathered that the workshop benefited over 320 teachers from primary and secondary schools across Yola North, Yola South, Girei, and Fufore local government areas. The initiative is expected to create a ripple effect, transforming teaching methodologies and fostering a more student-friendly education system in Adamawa State.
Stakeholders in the education sector have lauded the initiative, urging the state government to sustain and expand similar training programs. By continuously equipping teachers with social and emotional competencies, the state can ensure a more effective and compassionate education system that prioritizes the holistic development of students.
The training serves as a significant step toward improving the quality of education in Adamawa, reinforcing the commitment to nurturing well-rounded and emotionally intelligent students who can thrive academically and socially.
